Hello guys and gals. This thread I will be adding images of some of the knives and materials and stuff that I am working on.

Ya never know what it will be, from a awesome chef knife project to a folding knife or some awesome natural material I am cutting and processing that day for knife handles.

Lets start this one off with a Elmax stainless steel blade I am working on. This is a awesome CPM 3rd generation powder steel. What that means is. The stuff is AMAZING!! The grain size is really small and the Hardness is Really HIGH!! This one is 63.5 RC This one will be available when its completed. Im thinking either stainless or blackwood bolsters. and Ironwood or cocobolo burl handles.

Also added a couple pictures of a feather damascus petty in the works! This one will have a Malachite and burl wood WA handle.

Thanks for looking. As always, comments and critiques welcomed.

I was just reading about this steel last week, sounds like some amazing stuff. I was wondering when it was going to pop up here!

I have used it a few times. and each time I test this steel and as I have refined my heat treating, cryo treating and tempering. I find more to like about it!

The specs are also quite impressive with a carbon content of 1.7 and 18% chromium as well as 2 other carbide forming elements.

Here is what they say about it and the stats.

Uddeholm Elmax is a high chromium vanadium-molybdenum-alloyed steel with thefollowing characteristics:

 High wear resistance High compressive strength Corrosion resistant Very good dimensional stability

High wear resistance is normally connected tolow corrosion resistance and vice versa. InUddeholm Elmax it has however been able toachieve this unique combination of propertiesby a powder-metallurgy-based production.

This steel is amazing stuff. Its a 3rd gen. powder metal that has very high wear resistance and toughness. With a fine grain structure. It takes a crazy sharp edge and should hold a working edge for a very long time!
